Good morning everyone! I hope that you all have had a fantastic week so far. Remember that there are lots of options for keeping active at home; you could join in with Joe Wickes, dance along with a GoNoodle routine or JustDance on Youtube, cross off another few boxes on P.E. bingo or go on a walk with someone in your house. 🏃⚽️
Literacy:
Today for our literacy task we will be looking at inverted commas (also known as speech marks). When you are writing, speech marks go before and after direct speech, surrounding what was said.
Thursday 14th May
Direct Speech
I can use inverted commas effectively.
Warm Up:
We watched this clip in class, but it is really helpful to remind us of how to use speech marks. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6-YFmLctwDY
So, when using speech marks, the general rules are:
✓ If the person speaking changes, each new character’s speech starts on a new line.
✓ The words spoken are surrounded with speech marks – they come just before the speech starts and just after the speech has ended.
✓ Each line of speech starts with a capital.
✓ A comma separates the speech from the rest of the sentence.
✓ Punctuation, such as question marks, full stops and exclamation marks go inside the speech marks.
✓ A reporting clause is used at the end (said Jane, shouted Paul, replied Mum).
✓ A full stop goes after the reporting clause.
For example:
Main Task:
Activity 1: Add the Speech Marks
Rewrite the following sentences, adding in the speech marks.
Activity 2: Where is the Error? 🌶
Identify the errors in each sentence and correct them. Remember the general rules written above.
- Jamie asked his dad, where are my shoes.” (3 errors)
- “I often forget to tie my laces before I leave the house. Ruby admitted shyly (3 errors)
- Walter exclaimed “tap your nose softly and pat your shoulder quietly.” (3 errors)
- “Polly, how do I open this cupboard so I can feed the birds, Brenda asked loudly (3 errors)
Activity 3: Create a Sentence
Change these examples of reported speech into direct speech. For example: Her friend Lucy asked if she was going to the carnival. That sentence could become “Are you going to the carnival this weekend?” asked Lucy.
- She asked whether she could go to see the butterfly exhibition.
- The policeman asked the woman whether she had seen the robber’s face.
- His mum shouted at him to tidy his room.
Extension:
Write a short conversation between two characters. Remember that you must take a new line each time the character speaking changes.
